Period

Created 1870.

Canada

Part of a collection of drawings, sketches and paintings produced by three generations of amateur artist members of the Johnson family: John (1768-1846); son William Arthur (1816- 1880); and grandson Arthur Jukes Johnson (1848-1921, son of William). C. 1836 John emigrated to Upper Canada, settling in the area now known as Port Maitland. William became a noted Anglican Minister and a prominent figure in the history of Weston, Ont.. He was the founder of Trinity College School in Weston: one of his favourite and most talented students was William Osler. Arthur was Toronto's first Chief Coroner, a post he held for 17 years. Much of this material was donated to the Museum of the Academy of Medicine by Arthur's widow (c. 1922) and by his brother James (c. 1925).
